Chapter 368: Front Edge (37)
Chapter 368: Front Edge (37)
The two elders of the Zhang family did not expect that Zhang Siyuan would rather hurt himself than touch Qinglian. When they saw him lying on the ground with blood gushing from his forehead, they were almost scared to death.
That night, the Zhang family was in chaos and everyone was in panic. Fortunately, Zhang Siyuan did not really kill himself by hitting his head, otherwise the two old men would probably regret it for the rest of their lives.
People were coming in and out of the Zhang Mansion, and the news that Zhang Siyuan had sworn to death to preserve his loyalty spread throughout the streets the next day, and naturally reached the ears of the young man and Ling Chuan.
"Oh my god, this unlucky fool is really tough. He bangs his head as he pleases." The young man sat on the stall, playing with a hair accessory and holding his chin with one hand.
Zhang Siyuan, Yingying...
Ling Chuan pursed his lips and stared as if thinking about something.
"But then again, he seems to have changed a lot. It must be because of someone. Maybe I drank too much water..."
"Boss, how much do you want to sell that?"
The young man was muttering to himself when a clear male voice came from above. It sounded familiar. He looked up and saw that it was the person he had met once.
Then he smiled and said, "It's you. If you want this, I'll give you one or two taels of silver. This is made of silver and inlaid with jade. Although it's not big, it's exquisitely made and looks good on you."
Ling Chuan glanced at the hair crown in the boy's hand and felt that it was really sold at a low price.
"Yes, I want it."
Yingying took out the money directly.
The young man smiled again, packed the things, handed them to him before taking the money.
He thought the other party would leave after buying the things, but after taking the things, he stood there and kept staring at him.
The young man was suspicious and asked politely, "Is there anything else you need, sir?"
Yingying was silent for a moment, "Yes, I want you to deliver something for me, and pass on a message, this is a favor."
The young man was stunned when he saw the bag of money thrown to him, and couldn't understand how such a thing could happen to him.
"Can you tell me what it is?" To be on the safe side, I should ask first.
Seeing his vigilance, Yingying remained calm and said, "I know you know that idiot. Please give this to him for me. By the way, tell him not to do meaningless things that will lead to no results."
"!" The boy's eyes widened, and he immediately guessed who the other person was. He couldn't help but raise his voice: "You are the wife that stupid boy mentioned!"
"That was his own idea. I was poisoned that day and wanted to hide, but he showed up there." Yingying paused, her sharp eyes locked on the boy's eyes, "I know why he showed up there, and you contributed to it as well."
The young man was shocked.
Ling Chuan's eyes also darkened. He had never underestimated Yingying's abilities.
"But don't worry, you were trying to save him. I don't blame you. I can only say it was a damn coincidence." Yingying said calmly.
The young man pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly, "So that's what happened... Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the things and the words, forget about the reward."
"Take it. We owe each other nothing." Yingying said this and turned away.
"No, wait a minute..."
The young man chased for a few steps, but the man walked fast, so he stopped. He looked down at the purse and small porcelain jar in his hands, then he sighed long.
"Hey, can I go to Zhang's house now? And are you sure this won't irritate anyone?"
The boy scratched his head in annoyance. He decided not to go, as the man seemed to know a lot about him.
In the end, the young man closed his stall with the idea of giving it a try. If he couldn't get in, it wouldn't be his fault.
Originally, people thought that something had happened to Zhang Siyuan and he would most likely not be able to get in even if he came to the house. However, after the servant informed him, Mrs. Zhang with red and swollen eyes came to pick him up in person. She looked at him as if she had seen a savior.
"That Ze brother, Yuaner has woken up, but he is still angry with me and his grandfather. He doesn't want to take medicine or eat. He hasn't had a drop of water since he woke up. Please help me persuade him. I am old and confused..." Mrs. Zhang choked up as she spoke and wiped her tears silently.
Seeing this, the young man comforted her dryly, "Don't worry, Madam Zhang, I will persuade Young Master Zhang. I think he has always respected you two elders. He is probably just being stubborn at the moment. He just needs to think it over."
"Thank you... Please go in quickly. I won't go in." Mrs. Zhang sent the young man to the outside of Zhang Siyuan's room.
"You're welcome." The young man nodded slightly and went in.
There was no one else in Zhang Siyuan's room, and the servants and maids were guarding the door.
The young man walked over and his eyes met Zhang Siyuan's who was looking over at him.
"How did you come?"
Zhang Siyuan looked sick, with the wound on his forehead wrapped in a white cloth. He looked at the young man blankly.
"If I don't come, how would I know how advanced you have practiced Iron Head Kung Fu?" the young man said with a wry smile.
Zhang Siyuan turned his head away and snorted, "You are making fun of me." His tone was firm and slightly accusatory.
The boy felt tired of standing, so he went to move a log stool over to sit on, "No, that's something only bad friends would do. We are good friends."
Zhang Siyuan glanced back and squinted at the boy, "You said the day before yesterday that you wanted to break up with me."
The young man flashed an expression that I knew would happen, and then he slowed down his tone: "I said too much, Zhang Siyuan, Young Master Zhang, can you please forgive me this time?"
Well, just treat it as coaxing a child.
As a result, Zhang Siyuan just turned his back to him and ignored him.
Very good, it seems he still has to use his trump card.
The young man coughed, stood up and pretended to be indifferent: "I originally wanted to tell you that it was your wife who asked me to help him deliver something. Seeing that you don't want to pay attention to me, I'd better send the things back..."
"no!"
Over there, Zhang Siyuan had already sat up and hurriedly tried to stop the young man.
The young man didn't really want to leave. He looked down at Zhang Siyuan, grinned, and ordered him: "Lie back down."
Zhang Siyuan did as he was told, and then asked eagerly: "Liu Ze, where did you meet my wife? What did he want you to bring me? And why didn't he come to see me?" He pouted in grievance as soon as he finished speaking.
"Don't cry." The young man said in a low voice, and then took out the small porcelain bottle from his pocket, "Here, a young man in a mask asked me to give it to you. This should be medicine."
Zhang Siyuan held the small porcelain jar carefully, as if it were a treasure. The bitterness on his face disappeared and his eyes were bright, like two black gems reflecting light.
"Are you happy?" The boy sat back and asked with a smile.
Zhang Siyuan nodded rapidly, smiled and said, "Happy! Extremely happy! So happy that my chest feels warm and my forehead doesn't hurt anymore!"
The young man hummed, looked at him quietly for a while, and then said, "Can you tell me why you don't take medicine or eat?"
"I dare not eat it." Zhang Siyuan, who received care from his wife, answered every question.
The young man raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, thinking that this was indeed the reason.
"Your grandmother has realized that she is wrong. You still have to eat what you should eat. Otherwise, you will not get better. What will you do if your wife is gone?"
"What!" Zhang Siyuan's expression changed in an instant, "My wife is leaving! Where is she going?"
Seeing that he was so anxious that he was about to cry, the young man said with a headache: "How should I know? In fact, he asked me to send you medicine and also to give you a message."
What's going on? In fact, he really couldn't understand it. It was just an accidental sex. Why did this silly young man have to be with her? Oh, is this the best and purest? Or is it love at first sight?
Maybe it was possible. Although he didn't see the man's full face, the half of his face that was exposed, and the amber eyes...
"...Liu Ze, Liu Ze! What are you thinking about! Tell me what he said first." Zhang Siyuan was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.
Younger brother: “…”
I'm so sorry, I suddenly started to think too much.
"You might be even more sad if I told you." The young man observed his reaction and said.
Seeing that he finally responded to him, Zhang Siyuan stopped moving, but said a little depressedly: "I know, he warned me last time, but I want to hear what he said."
The young man's expression slightly collapsed, it turned out that he was worrying too much.
"He asked me to tell you not to do meaningless things that will produce no results." The reckless young man had dead eyes. Anyway, this guy was not an ordinary person.
"How can it be meaningless! This is my intention and determination!" Zhang Siyuan felt angry and aggrieved.
"Yeah, I know." The young man agreed with him.
"But since he asked you to deliver the medicine to me, it proves that he has me in his heart, hehe..."
Zhang Siyuan said this with a foolish smile, looking very worthless. He healed himself without any comfort from others.
The young man's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at him carefully for a few more times, secretly sighing that it was really different from the first time they met.
After Zhang Siyuan had laughed enough, the young man who had not forgotten Mrs. Zhang's instructions spoke: "Are you hungry now? If you are hungry, I'll have someone bring you something to eat."
Zhang Siyuan touched the small porcelain jar, stared at it and asked, "Are you really not going to feed me weird food again?"
The boy said embarrassedly, "Don't worry. You scared your grandparents enough this time. I think they won't ask anything from you for a long time."
Zhang Siyuan trusted the young man very much, so he agreed to eat after hearing this.
"Okay, I'll go tell them... By the way, just tell them that the medicine in your hand was sent by me, okay?" The young man stood up and left, not forgetting to remind him before leaving.
Zhang Siyuan pouted and said, "It was obviously given by my wife." He looked like a little brother trying to steal the credit for someone else's achievement.
The boy sneered, "If you want your grandparents to throw it away, just tell them."
Zhang Siyuan: "No... I know, I won't let it slip."
The young man glanced at him and turned to leave.
As soon as he went out, he found Mrs. Zhang still standing outside, so he told her directly that Zhang Siyuan wanted to eat.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang's eyes filled with tears, and she quickly asked the maid to bring the food and medicine prepared by the kitchen.
After giving instructions to the maid, she kept thanking the young man: "Thank you so much, Ze'er."
The young man shook his head, not intending to take credit. "Mrs. Zhang, you are too polite. I didn't do anything. It was Young Master Zhang who calmed down on his own. I think he knows that Madam Zhang cares about him so much."
"Well, well..." Mrs. Zhang's heart softened and her eyes were filled with tears.
The young man couldn't say anything. The problem between the grandmother and granddaughter had to be solved by themselves.
He went in with Madam Zhang, and watched Madam Zhang crying with guilt because of Zhang Siyuan's response, repeatedly saying that it was her fault, and that if he didn't want to accept Qinglian, then he wouldn't accept her...
Mrs. Zhang talked a lot, and the young man felt a little awkward as a stranger watching from the side. Anyway, the things had been delivered, so he found a chance to say that he had something else to do and left.
A few days later, news came from Xiang Yang, which preliminarily confirmed that Lin Wenbin was not dead, but it was still unclear whether he was the current Liu Dazhi.
The young man said he understood and that he could wait as long as it took and would continue to investigate further.
Xiang Yang took on a lot of jobs, all of which were so strange and bizarre that you would never imagine them. Even such a cruel act of killing one's brother to take his place was not impossible.
In addition to the gains made by Lin Wenbin, a lot of news also came from his son Liu Baokun.
When Liu Baolian married into the Feng family, Master Feng, perhaps for the sake of his reputation, gave the Liu family fifty taels of silver. This amount of money was a sky-high price for an ordinary family, and it was not too much of a disgrace to such a beautiful girl like Liu Baolian. However, Liu Baokun owed the gambling house more than just this.
The family had to collect the huge sum of more than one hundred taels of silver, but was still short of more than ten taels after searching everywhere. In the end, they could only go to Master Tang's house with a shameless face.
Since her life was at stake, Liu Baolian had no choice but to lose face. However, even though he was willing to apologize, Tang Yuer already knew about the ridiculous things he had done, and besides, none of the old or young in his family were good people, so it would be strange for her to be willing to go back with him, let alone lend him money.
But Tang Yue'er has already married Liu Baokun, she can't stay away from home forever.
For the sake of their daughter, the Tang couple said they were willing to give Liu Baokun money, but the prerequisite was that Liu Baokun must divorce Tang Yueer.
Liu Baokun initially disagreed and refused to pay, but after being beaten by the debt collectors, he went to Liu Baolian to beg for money but got nothing in return. Finally, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree to the Tang couple's request, and took the opportunity to ask for a few more taels of silver.
It costs money to buy peace and to escape from the den of cannibals. The Tang couple, who love their daughter so much, gritted their teeth and gave the money.
Liu Baokun had no money and other private schools would not accept him, so he had no choice but to return to Liujia Village in disappointment and did not cause trouble for the time being.
The young man was very happy to see this.
As the days passed, after Zhang Siyuan recovered, he liked to look for the little brother more than before.
The reason was simple: Yingying had gone to look for the little brother, so she had to stay there. Even though he couldn't see his wife, he was very happy just thinking that his wife would be watching him in a corner where no one was paying attention.
When the young man first heard such hopeless remarks, his expression was indescribable, but his stall was just a cover, so he could come if he wanted.
But they knew it clearly in their hearts, including the two elders of the Zhang family, who knew that the young man had no thoughts about their grandson, but others did not know.
Seeing a man so clingy to a boy, the way they looked at them was more or less a little strange, as if they were having an affair, but even the two elders of the Zhang family didn't mind Zhang Siyuan being close to the boy, and they didn't dare to say anything even if they had some thoughts.
